When I wake I find my love asleep
And so it is within the darkness of a dream shadow
That she sets her feet
And upon the cobbled or flowered path she walks
Lit by counted stars with pagan shapes
I search for her in the echoes trailing moody
From the corners of my eyes, my wonder
Caught and catching little to which I can attest
Her step is light, I know, and so in light
I work to follow, through that dark and dreaming
Shadow visited on my weary head
The simple turn, the pivot of her wrist
A curious wrinkle of the brow and spark
Between the iris of her deep
When I wake and find my love asleep
I will not make of her a phantom while
She lies breathlessly await

When I Wake

Simple guitar playing with plenty of mistakes, extemporaneous lyrics/words.  I miss my dear Sezgi.

Tonight
No words wrap my loneliness
I am bared
To my core
And all I am
Is a man
And all I want is to be with you
Can I come to you?
Can I come to you?
I'm just a man
I want to be with you
I'm alone
And I'm scared
It's so easy to forget
And so hard to forgive
I want to be with you
I want you right here
Don't want much from you
Just to call you "my dear"
